Be Seated

Tailwheel on and the interior panels are clecoed in.  Lockwood builds their on tailwheel.  It looks pretty squared away to me.  It is like a Maule or Scott in that it is steerable for about 30 degrees then breaks free to swivel.

Ane here is the attachment spring.

The interior panels clecoed in.

I have to take some of them back out to route the break lines but they all seem to fit OK.  This also gives me a chance to think about how I am going to run wires for various systems like the intercom connections and the stick grips.

Finally tonight I mounted one of the seats to the seat frame.  The seat is preformed fiberglass that is very stiff.  This is the seat pan side (the side your butt touches)

Don't worry there is a seat cushion and upholstery in the kit.

Here is the bottom side attached to the bracket which is a weldment.

And here it is sitting in the seat track.

Not a good shot of the set-up, I'll get a better shot later.  The seats is ground adjustable for different length legs but they do bolts in.  A quick lock pin might make this easier.

Have to go to Chris Lucas' tomorrow night to fire up the mighty Lycoming in his RV-10.
